6 Spectacular Theaters in Europe

Europe is one of the most traveled continents in the world. A continent rich in medieval history, delectable cuisines, classical music, and romance attracts millions of tourists from different parts of the world.

The theater is the soul of most European travel. Visiting opera and theater around Europe is a popular way of undertaking travel music. If you’re looking to visit an Opera, you can find 3 opera houses in Berlin, 4 in Paris, 6 in Vienna, 8 in Moscow and 4 in London.

6 Spectacular Theaters in Europe

The term theater can be traced back to ancient Greece. Greek theatre is the root of the Western theater tradition. It began in the 6th century BCE in Athens with the performance of tragedy plays at religious festivals.

Although it started as a part of Greek festivals, religious rituals, music, poetry, and weddings, today it is conducted throughout the world for art and artistic expression.

Here are the six examples of spectacular theaters throughout Europe

The Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus – Düsseldorf, Germany

The Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus is a theater company based in Dusseldorf, Germany.  It dates back to 1818 when it was gifted from King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia. He presented it to the people of Düsseldorf as an elaborate gift.

The theater is well known for holding popular theatrical plays. It has seen a great number of premieres, among other interesting drama plays by Juli Zeh, Martin Heckmanns and Rimini Protokoll.

The theatre is designed like a sculpture where the architects described the style as organic architecture. The great hall (Großes Haus) could fit 900 people at a time, now it can fit 760 people. The small hall (Kleines Haus) can seat 300 people.

The Dusseldorfer Theater presents you a wide range of theatrical plays, from big productions to more experimental offerings – which are usually shown in the smaller of the two halls of the theater.

Dusseldorf is easily accessible by car, Deutsche Bahn, local public transport, bus, and airplane.

Salle Richelieu – Paris, France

The Salle Richelieu is the principal theater of the Comédie-Française. The theater is located in Paris and can seat 862 people at a time. It was inaugurated in 1790 for the troupe of the Variétés amusantes. The Salle Richelieu has been the historical theatre of the Comédie-Française since 1799. It was rebuilt and opened after a great fire in 1900.

The theater was initially intended to be an opera and was built at the initiative of the Duke of Chartres by the architect Victor Louis. At the beginning of the Revolution, it was occupied by the Théâtre des Variétés Amusantes, which were joined by Talma and his friends.

The theater was designed in a classical style. Like other theaters around Europe, this theater offers throwbacks to an altogether different era. It is designed with a grand staircase lined with busts of key players from the theater’s past. Other items include classical paintings, artifacts, sculptures, and objects relevant to the history of French theater, making this a living museum.

Paris is one of the most accessible cities in the world. You can find regular flights, bus, car, train, and tram. If you’re in London, you can get to Paris in a matter of 2hours 16 minutes on a Eurostar train.

Palais Garnier – Paris, France

Palais Garnier is another popular theater in Paris. The theater which started in 1875 was popularized by the most popular and adapted musical Phantom of the Opera.  Palais Garnier was the setting for Gaston Leroux’s famous novel “The Phantom of the Opera”. This is opulence is still present both inside and out. The interior is all about ornate light fixtures, artworks, and even bronze busts, which turn this into one of Paris’s most intriguing attractions.

The Palais Garnier also houses the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Library-Museum), which is managed by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and is included in unaccompanied tours of the Palais Garnier.

You can take a Palais Garnier Tour for free on the 1st Sunday of each month. The closest train station to Palais Garnier is Gare Saint-Lazare, which is a 10-minute walk away.

Baroque Castle Theater – Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

Baroque Castle Theater is one of the original baroque theaters alive today. The Castle Theatre in the city of Cesky Krumlov is a great marvel of baroque. Everything inside the theater is original including stage, auditorium, costumes, and sheets of musical notes. The castle baroque theater was finished in 1766 in time of great popularity of Italian operas and used for almost 150 years.

It opens from the beginning of May to the end of October from 10 am to 3 pm. The reservation system for the baroque theater tours is counter-intuitive and only 20 people can attend the tour at a time.

The theater still uses intricate rope and pulley system. A 3km long rope is used to change sceneries on the stage. Enjoy a live performance in an original 17th Century setting. The setting is as elaborate and theatrical as anyone could wish for.

You can catch a regular train to Cesky Krumlov from Prague, which takes approximately 90 minutes.

Great Theater – Epidaurus, Greece

The Great Theater of Epidaurus is probably the oldest theater in the world. The large Greek amphitheater is the most beautiful and best-preserved ancient theaters. The Epidaurus theater was built in the 4th century BC by Polykleitos the Younger.

Although the performances are not held on a regular basis at Epidaurus, you can still visit the well-preserved amphitheater and relish the ancient history. Due to its excellent acoustics and condition, the theater is still used today, most notably under the framework of the annual Epidaurus Festival.

Although it’s more of a historical relic than an established venue these days, the roofless theater mixes perfectly with the natural surroundings. It’s not hard to imagine an ancient performance with ornate costumes, detailed sets, and theatrical rituals captivating a packed crowd.

The theater can seat about 13,000 spectators at a time. It was built in two phases – one during the 4th century BC and the second in the mid-2nd century – and divided into two parts: one for citizens and one for priests and authorities. The building technique of the amphitheater allows filtering the background noise using an ‘acoustic trap’.

Trains from Athens take approximately 2.5 hours.

National Theater – Prague, Czech Republic

The National Theater of Prague was built in 1881. It was built to uphold the national identity of the Czech people. The National Theatre was opened for the first time in 1881, to honor the visit of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria.

The original building has seen several additions and upgrades over the years. As such, it’s as unique and dramatic outside as it is inside. It is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague.

Prague is a major rail hub in the Czech Republic, with regular trains from throughout the country. There are also direct trains from major European hubs.

From my last trip to Gran Canaria, this one was taken in a small village at the top of the volcanic mountain Tejeda 🗻 I've always been more of an introvert, music helped me to open up a bit and express myself. I'm just grateful for being able to make music and sing, it's like breathing to me... ☄🌬✨ I've been working on a new song of mine, I will publish it soon 🎶🎹🎤💛 #grancanaria #tejeda #canaryislands #volcano #volcanicisland #travelandmusic #wanderer #singersongwriter #singing #singgirl #openingup #expressyourself #selflove #empowered #vocalist #singer #healing #traveller #assertyourself #believeinyou #musicgirl #travelgirl #discovering #creating #thankful (at Canary Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuT4eLDjknF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s4yah9setsas

This is an instrument recreated from the Stone Age! Why am I posting this? So, I literally just got notified by our assistant that my "Little Music Explorer" class is ON tomorrow! I AM FREAKING OUT because I have nothing ready besides a bunch of scattered notes ... (!!!) (I honestly thought the class won't happen.) I got 4 four and half years old kids in the trial class tomorrow. Luckily, I have some of the video footages from the "origin of music" exhibition we accidentally discovered in Ystad, Sweden in December! The wonderful exhibition was curated by the European Music Archaeology Project! Now, time to put everything together! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 notesofjo.com 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 #musicvideo #musicarchaeology #explorer #stoneage #ystad #musicproject #percussion #percussionist #travelculture #travelhistory #travelblogger #musicteacher #musicteacherlife #travelblog #musicblog #worldtravel #archaeology #travelnow #travelauthentic #travelawesome #travelandlife #travelandmusic #lifestyleblogger #expatlife (at Greyfriars Abbey, Ystad)
